I have a student achiever acount and would like to know if it's possible to pay online and how? Accoring to this page I can use masterpass by downloaing the app. The Masterpass app by mastercard isn't available in South Africa and Standard Bank doesn't seem to offer a masterpass app. There is an app by Otilo but I don't see why I should trust that app? Please update your website to clarify which merchants are participating as that would be invaluable information for any customer. Additionally the hyperlinks used for legacy and computicket have been mixed up(minor annoyance but it makes me question the quality of your web devs and explains why the site is so unintuitive)

Thats BS. Any card that says MasterCard or VISA can be used for online purchases. If it says Maestro or Visa electron it cannot. a student achiever account is a master card and should be able to be used for online purchases.

SnapScan counts as online purchase, it is advertised that student achiver and even access account are able to use it but when you try it says card declined by bank, which is usually the case wuth standard bank debit cards.

The online purchase problem has came up last year and is definatly a problem the bank needs to look into as most debit card holder were able to make online purchases last year and it stopped working all of a sudden.

Many online merchants also require MasterSecure and Visa verify in order for you to make purchases and standard banks enrollment page for that does not seem to be working.

We do apologise for your experience. Please advise if you still experiencing the same issues with your card? You can email us your account details including contact and ID number for further assistance on: [email protected] using the subjectline "Debit Card online shopping issues Community query" Thanks.

Kindly note that on-line shopping at any point will require you to capture your card details by using your card details including the CVV number which is a secure three digit pin at the back of your cheque or credit card. To resolve this you will have to upgrade your account to cheque account to enjoy on-line shopping.

I use to be able to use my card for online purchases but the suddenly it was stopped.

My new mastercard debit card does have a CCV at the back and I still can't use for online purchases.

I have a access acount so it is not a savings account. I have a savings account at another bank and I can use their card for online purchases. My friend has a savings account from another bank and she too can use hers for online purchases.

So is Standard bank trying to lose loyel clients and lying? Do we need to take our banking elsewhere, where they dont lie and make you pay ekstra for services you already pay for?

That's a big problem for me. The debit mastercard has a csv nr. And the little pamphlet you get with your card, when you open a plain access account, says you can do online shopping with it. Yet, now you say you need a checue account for it. Which one is it. Because your marketing is ki d of misleading then!!!

Please note that you can't use the Debit MasterCard to do online purchases. The CVV number is for other merchants that accepts debit MasterCard as they might be prompted to confirm the CVV number on your debit card for swipe purchases not online transactions.

Hi so firstly my original question was asking if you can verify that the merchant OLITO is trustworthy because they has a system that lets you use debit cards for payments but I am hesitant to trust it because it is third party. Either verify formally that he is legit or shutdown his service if it is taking peoples money with your business name on it!

Ideally I'd like this to go higher because based on the research I did our cards have all the needed characteristics to work with online shopping and Standard Bank is needlessly withholding it. This is a STUDENT ACCOUNT and the fact is that younger people are more willing to make online transactions than older generations. In china and india they recognise this and are pushing to go cashless meanwhile here you have the audacity to have an account that doesn't let you purchase online. This is a chance for standard bank to make more money from fees and it seems senseless that you don't have this basic service people WANT.

To everyone else in the thread, takealot uses Payfast with EFT so you can use that (I have and havent had a problem) on a number of sites. For overseas purchases you can get the Luno wallet and buy bitcoin with EFT and then use that. Its insane that we need to use intermediary services to get this basic service to work (which obviously can)

Kindly be advsied that online shopping at any point will require you to capture your card details by using your card details including the CVV number which is a secure three digit pin at the back of your cheque or credit card. To resolve this, you will need to upgrade your account to a cheque account in order to be able to shop online.
